Default Re: Idiot building a MK14 thread

Thanks very much. I have a Prusa Mk3s - I'm going to have to split that one....

I didn'r find any case that was suitable, but I did design a "tray" for the MK14 to sit in that lines up with all the holes. stiffens the circuit board, aligns the edge connectors and prevents shorts on the bottom of the case. Its in 2 parts, the tray and a clip that secures the back of the board.

It secures with 4 screws through the keyboard holes (and bezel if you have one) and the clip at the back.

You'll need a 3d printer that has at least a 300x300 buid area because the M14 is large....
